West Point

For the third consecutive year, the New York Knicks visited the United States Military Academy during the team's training camp in West Point, New York. The Knicks' new center Joakim Noah, however, didn't join his teammates at the academy because of his strong stance against war and gun violence.

Good morning. Thank you, General Caslen, for that introduction. To General Trainor, General Clarke, and the faculty and staff at West Point – you have been outstanding stewards of this proud institution, and excellent mentors for the newest officers in the United States Army. I’d like to acknowledge the Army’s leadership – Secretary McHugh and General Odierno, as well as Senator Jack Reed – a proud graduate of West Point himself.
